review 1: I stayed up until 2am to finish this book. It was awesome! Great gothic elements such as the foreboding castle, a damsel, mysterious deaths, a hero accused of murder, an atmosphere of suspense etc... I loved Velvet and Lucian. The governess and the master. The sexual tension between them DRIPPED off the pages. It was pretty intense. I enjoyed their word and eye play and liked getting to their eventual union. Also, I enjoyed that as the governess, Velvet was able to tame and understand the needs of Lucian's much indulged, often ignored daughter, Iris. I had to knock it down a star because the resolution was blah. I can't really say without spoiling it! It was wrapped up too quickly after tons of clues and mysterious mishaps. I was like, wait, who? why? when? but where? So ... morebecause I was left with a few questions I decided to give it 4 stars.I will seek this author out again!
review 2: Maybe others read this one as a spoof ... I thought it was one of the worst books ever, based on a couple of features represented much too often in the first 30 or so pages: repeated references to unexplained, presumably unjustified tarnished reputation (no reason given to believe she was not a tramp, by the way); grossly misused adjectives (no, they actually do not mean what apparently was thought to be inferred); and, "Velvet" as an english regency name, really?There were no signals that this book was intended to be anything other than a regular regency novel.If these features would bother you, skip this novel. less
